Here is the link for the build:

The general idea is to teleport to the target with the ‘2’ skill and immobilize them with Signet of Wrath. If you’re lucky, Sigil of Rage will kick in and give you Quickness, which will finish of the enemy quickly.

Try and get the Focus ‘5’ skill up when engaging if possible, the free blocks are pretty useful! Your Elite is just there for the Invulnerability when things get into a pinch, and your heal is important for the block too! ^^

This build is pretty squishy and has very little Condition Removal, but you can always switch to GS to pound in that Cleansing Bolts.

It’s pretty much a high-damaging burst build, with some forced survivability with the focus, heal and elite acting as your blocks.

You can suggest any improvements below! I’m quite new to guardian in pvp, but hopefully this is turns out to be a fun build! ^^

I would probably suggest swapping SoW with SoB. That would give you similar CC effect with a little extra damage to frontload. Also, you use shelter but didn’t take Defender’s Flame instead of Strength in Numbers? That trait is a bread and butter of blocking abilities, esp considering you are using the focus.

I would also look at your sigils, they’re not really matching up. Proc’ing quickness via the sigil isn’t really useful since the nerf, esp considering the kitten poor uptime it has (contributed by both the internal CD and proc rate). I might suggest switching to sigil of battle for the extra might stacks and Altruistic Healing procs. Either that or sigil of strength since you’re fishing for crit procs.

Lastly, you’re very weak on condition removal. I would suggest doing something about that. Going with your punishing theme, try smite condition instead of stand your ground.
